EMERGENCY EXITS

Locate and learn how to use all possible
emergency exits. It is good practice to inform
passengers of the location of exits and how to
use them in case of an emergency.

SIDE WINDOWS

Most of the side windows can be opened from the
inside to serve as emergency exits. A decal
located on the bottom of each passenger window
indicates the location of the nearest emergency
exit. The emergency exit windows arrangement is
slightly different on a vehicle equipped with a
wheelchair lift system.
